I'm PrObama - have been ever since I first saw him and heard him speak. But I don't think I like other Obama supporters, mainly because they're the most obnoxiously enthusiastic people I've ever encountered since Hard-Core Christians!

Have you noticed the similarities as well?

Whenever the subject comes up in even the most obscure and barely-related ways, they have to extol the virtues of their hero. They go on and on about how they never really cared about anything till they heard the good news about this guy, and it was completely life-changing. And if you don't love their fellow as much as/in the same way as they do, they go in to their sales pitch trying to convert you and telling you how you're so very wrong for not believing in this guy as strongly as THEY believe in this guy. And if they fail to convert you, they either (a) pitty you for not seeing the obvious truth or (b) decide to no longer be your friend because they'd rather only associate with people who have "Seen the Light".

So who is that? An Obama Supporter, or a hard-core Christian?

Either way, it turns me off. Just as I can't imagine a Christian being able to say anything that would make me go "Oh my GOSH, you're RIGHT! I've been wrong all along! I'm gonna change my wicked ways RIGHT NOW and let Jesus in to my heart!", I can't either imagine an Obama supporter saying anything that would make a McCain and/or "Undecided" person say "OMG YOU'RE SO RIGHT OBAMA *IS* THE WAY TO GO!!!"

So instead of being "On Of Those People" any more, I think I'm gonna go the same way as my *cooler* Christian friends. Just gonna let it all slide, and then when/if a person goes "Hey, Obama *is* pretty keen, isn't he?" I'll just smile and nod knowingly :)
